What we do

A domestic acreage is more than just land. It’s sovereignty. It’s a return to the natural way, where love leads and community blossoms. You decide what you want to plant, build and nurture. You can disconnect from the noise, and reconnect to your truth. It’s a space for healing, creation and connection-to yourself, loved ones and the land It’s where art meets soil, where dreams have room to expand, and where freedom isn’t just an idea, it is a lifestyle.

Our Vision

Smithville Community Build is a domestic acerage: Where your roots grow deeper and your heart grows stronger.

The ideal community member has a family, and a plan to live in a community setting. The family will have streams of income that afford them the opportunity to put down a $30k investment for their 1/8 acre, plus have the funds to build or bring in a home of their choice. Landscaping, will be the families responsibility of their 1/8 acre. All families will demonstrate care of their environment, and ‘leave no trace” in regards to trash, recycling etc…

The over all community infrastructure is a shared responsibility to create and maintain, which is why there is a $8oo monthly fee. This will take care of sewer lines, power lines, and the build out of the living swimming pool and the green houses. We believe at this rate it is affordable to most families to be able to do this and live a good life.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 [email protected]
